It would be much appreciated!

Also, If the "header" (where Signal, Clock, and Notifications go) could match the transparency of the keys, it would be great!

I'm guessing a 30% increase to transparency, added to the "default" keys would make the wallpaper visible, yet, the keys would still be noticeable...

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdmatt:
They are *kind of* transparent, on my phone as well, but I hoped someone could make a flashable file that turned them really transparent within every sub menu or application. If you notice, they turn completely black even if you are on the home screen but using a live wallpaper. I'd also like to avoid /fix that.

I did my own SystemUI.apk already, with blue buttons and some mirroring-effect. But i couldn't find a possibility to make the background of the buttons transparent, as desired here. Is there anyone out there having a hint, how this could be realised?

what do we have to edit in Systemui.apk to get transparency?

EDIT:

Turns out, at least on Cleanrom based on 4.1.2, using the Xposed per-app dpi settings module, the "Freestyle Windows Mode" (thanks to BlackBass595 for finding this name) a.k.a (I think) Cascade View can be enabled by setting Android System to a resolution of 600x1024 or higher. No need to change dpi (can leave at 0, which is default) if you don't want to (Thanks to Gahh Its Lee who spent some time testing this to determine this).

**This will not work with TouchWiz as your launcher, as it force closes with any change in resolution or dpi** (Apex, Nova, etc. all are fine)

If you're on Cleanrom ACE and want to try:

Install the Xposed Framework app from here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

Grab the Xposed App Settings and install:

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/xposed-app-settings.5/viewfile

Run the Xposed Framework Installer, choose "install/update".

Navigate to the "Modules" tab and check off Xposed App Settings to activate the module.

Reboot.

Open Xposed App Settings in app drawer, select Android System. Turn per-app settings on with the toggle, set resolution to 600x1024 or higher and save. Reboot.

Cheers.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

OP:

Using Cleanrom ACE and Xposed framework to run per-app dpi settings, not sure if the latter makes any difference.

The first of the 2 apps I drag into multiwindow often, but not always, let's me "pin" and resize it. I can't figure out why it isn't an option for all apps? If anyone can shed some light on how this works I'd appreciate it.

It's a really cool feature, used it to "pin" and reduce the size of Xbox smartglass remote so I could control the Xbox while still having most of my phone screen operating as normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tarheeldan:
Bump.

Do I just suck at search (I tried) or does no-one know what I'm talking about?

I can't find anything about this anywhere, except that it was supposed to be an upcoming feature in the Verizon LTE Galaxy Note 10.1 - which is why I was surprised to see it in 4.1.2 which CleanROM ACE is based on.

EDIT:

So, I definitely suck a *little* bit as searching. This thing is called "Cascade View" and someone was asking about it in the AT&T forums:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2093306

But at least no one in that thread seemed aware that it is in fact an available feature (guy was on Cleanrom also).

Feature is detailed by Samsung in:

http://developer.samsung.com/s-pen-sdk/technical-docs-09

Still would love to know how to get all of my apps to work as free windows if anybody knows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaybenosa:
Never knew about this..I would like to know how to do this as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tarheeldan:
Edited OP with info for trying this out yourself. I didn't notice this when on Jelly Beans (4.1.1) so I think it's 4.1.2 only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RickROM:
Great find! Just got it working. Set 240DPI with 1024x600 layout for Android System and SystemUI. Looks great, and made an amazing phone ever more amazing. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
this is really cool.

do you always have to drag two windows into multiwindow, pin one of the apps, and then exit the other app to get this to work? it would be a lot more useful if i could just pin directly from multiwindow without having to drag two apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tarheeldan:
Unfortunately yes, for now. I'm hoping someone out there figures out how to port over the multi window dock from the Samsung tablets as they have button toggles for launching apps as a free window or in split view. I thought there might be a flashbarservice.apk that coukd simply be replaced but sadly it wasn't so simple.

If I ever find or see that someone else has figured out a way, I'll update here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Also worth noting is this doesn't work with touch wiz launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tarheeldan:
Thanks, added that to the OP. Too bad that didn't work for you though.

So, I tried grabbing a 10.1 rom to see if I could bring over some stuff and inject it into Cleanrom, but didn't have much luck as I don't know what all the dependencies are for multiwindow. Maybe if I spent enough time, but there might be an easier way.

I think the best solution would be to modify flashbarservice.apk so that it launches apps in freestyle and pinnable window mode by default. I decompiled the apk and dug around the smalis but I can't make heads or tails of it. Each line of code seems to do so little, and I can't find one where I can set "FREE_STYLE" or "FREE_AND_PINUP_STYLE" as a modifier for the launch intent, rather than "SPLIT_ZONE_A" or "SPLIT_ZONE_B" which it must default to. The Samsung SDK also keeps referencing SMultiWindowManager which I don't see a trace of.

No idea. Maybe something that actually knows something about coding apps could figure it out. It'd be really awesome to open up the apps in the window mode, just like a computer. There's even a button to maximize them to full screen lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Easy... Look for the smali code that says "use this for freestyle in other roms" ...you're welcome. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
I noticed that sometimes I could get the the pin to appear by swiping down at the very top of the window.

Sent from my unlocked & underclocked Galaxy Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tarheeldan:
Interesting. I tried, I can't seem to get it to work with my clumsy fingers though.

LOL. I wish!

I got Eclipse and the ADT package and tried my hand at messing with the smalis. The AppListWindow and CenterBarWindow both have lines with what I'm looking for but I don't know enough about what the code does to know what to change. Plus, when I tried exporting the APK from Eclipse and loading it on the phone it force closed so I don't think I even know how to re-compile it properly.

There's no references to the resizeable window mode in CenterBarWindow.smali, only the split zone:

[Android Apps and Games] jbeiter:
I'm not a programmer or I'd do this in a heartbeat. I use a journaling/note application on linux called Rednotebook. It's on sourceforge, sorry I'm still under 10 posts so I can't post a link.

It is a simple, lightweight, app that you can drop notes, pics, diary entrys, whatever, and easily find them again. Pretty much what evernote does only without the massive bloat and eye-bleed interface. It feels a lot like a personal wiki interface. I use this and evernote and constantly go back to this because it is so much easier to deal with.

I don't know how the author would deal with royalties from the app store but he has indicated on his forums he has no interest in porting to android but would be glad to help someone else do it. I run this on all of my linux system and would buy it in a heartbeat to run on my tablet.

My hope is to be able to run this on all of my systems and export/import it as necessary. A way to sync this securely without putting personal stuff out on the internet somewhere would be icing on the cake but manual would work just fine.

Just putting it out there. I'd definately pay more than the average $1.99 google play app for this port.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KDJewl:
Hi guys, looking for a little help here. I have the Koodo Galaxy S2x, and I just rooted it yesterday using Odin and such. I've noticed that since I've done this, I have an issue with ny messages app once in a while. I'll open the app, and its as if i deleted my inbox-no messages-when I know I haven't. I can't recieve or send any texts while in this state. It seems I can go to my task killer and clear my RAM, and that solves the issue (temporarily). Has anyone experienced this? Its really annoying to have to constantly check my inbox to make sure its still working correctly...I'm running stock, by the way. Thanks guys.

P.S- Shortly after rooting, I switched from the stock Touchwiz launcher to Launcher 8. Could it be an issue with the launcher, rather than rooting?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Back up any important apps/data (Titanium Backup), flash back to stock Koodo 4.0.4 ROM via Odin. Do not apply any root and use the default launcher. See if the problem still occurs, since it's a clean flash it shouldn't. Then go ahead and re-install any of the stuff you had backedup, recommend individually to check if it's a particular app that caused conflict.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KDJewl:
Ahh, i was hoping I could avoid having to flash and restore everything, but if all else fails, thats what I'll do. I uninstalled Launcher 8 this morning and so far haven't encountered the issue again, so I'm crossing my fingers that the app was the issue. I'm thinking it was something to do with the way the launcher reads any unread texts and displays the number on the messages tile. Of course, I could be wrong.

so what does burst mode exactly mean?

I really like taken pictures with my smartphone but unfortunately Android Phones are VERY slow taking a picture. I saw how a friend of mine was taking pictures with his Iphone5 camera and I was only thinking "I want that fast camera for my next Android Phone!! ^^

So how fast is that burst mode?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
Burst mode is different again. Hold the button and it'll keep taking photos. What you want is a low shutter lag.. which is the delay between pressing the button and getting a photo. This depends very much on the camera hardware and the app driving it - it's very possible for one android phone to be slow and another very fast.

Rest assured this should be good... who do you think makes the iphone camera modules that you like so much ;)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonsai112:
ah ok burst mode seems to be nice feature! Yeah I didn't really know if shutter lag is the right word^^ I didn't know that Sony is making the Camera hardware for apple, but that doesn't mean that it will be as fast as the Iphone taking pictures, because of their software...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Being slow isn't a bug it's a feature :) A feature called auto focus. When you click the camera button it first try to focus on the object it's facing before actually taking a pic. Try disabling it and you could use your camera to shoot like using a machine gun :p

And yeah burst mode is something similar to what I explained in a single click.
